The
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have found themselves at the centre of a
privacy row after they chose to take their first family holiday in
secret. The
royal couple flew with Prince George, two, and 10-month-old Princess
Charlotte to a secret location in the French Alps last Wednesday.
Unlike
royal ski holidays of old - when a group of photographers was invited
to capture the family relaxing on the slopes - the Cambridges chose to
escape the country without telling the media of their plans.
Instead
of arranging a photo-call to mark the getaway, William and Kate invited
only a single Press Association photographer, who took a small number
of posed portraits. Six carefully selected photographs were then
released to the Press this morning, hours after the family's return.
However
the details of the trip, including where young Prince George had his
first experience of snow, remain a tightly-guarded secret. The couple
have previously made complaints over the media invading their privacy,
and devote a lot of time to keeping their children out of the public
eye.
Royal officials have yet to comment on how the family travelled to their ski destination or how much the holiday cost.
